Let's see some pic's of your SxS's & O/U's

What a beauty, looks well made!
Love the resto too, has an original feel to it.
I just missed a 16g the other day.....been experiencing hesitation remorse ever since....
So still not a part of the club, but a reason to keep looking
Mike, it’s a good club to be in. No vintage gun stash is complete without a 16 SxS or pump.

Very nice! Yes I have been doing some reading up on the Baker-Ithaca connection. Very interesting.
Thanks all for the kind comments. I guess the old saying is true. When it rains, it pours. I barely had that Ferlach guild gun in the house for 48 hours when another Germanic 16 appeared on the horizon. I scooped it up immediately. It’s a Greifelt 16 ga with 29” barrels. Much like the Ferlach. Barrels are untouched, all screws in good shape and timed properly. Cocking indicators, sideclips, cross bolt and intercepting sears. This Greifelt dates to 1923 and is an extractor gun, which I really like. The wood could do with a bit of Mr Dawe’s magic so the gun is already on its way to him. Pics to be posted upon its return in a few months.
And of course, the day I mailed it off, I was shown another gun I just have to have. It will remain nameless until a deal gets cut but the disease has me firmly in its grip!

Use him to your advantage by casually bringing up CGN news, in conversations with your spouse... Next thing you know, you'll seem like the reasonable one

Thats exactly what I did. When my spouse met canvasback, she asked me if he was the guy with all the nice guns that I always talk about. My addiction is instantly normalized. Worked like a charm!

You're on a roll, CB.
I look forward to seeing your new-to-you guns when they come back from Chris.
Nice gun for sure, CB. I've posted elsewhere about how I just don't understand the over-elaborately stocked German guns that look more like they're made for fiddle work than to be effective shooters, nice that you found a Canadian solution.
This is a pair of 12 Ga MacNaughton's. Not a matched pair, but still a pair.
The bar-in-wood gun was completed about 1933 and was the last gun completed by MacNaughton---confirmed by the new owners of MacNaughton and Dickson.
The other gun is their standard round action completed in 1899 and restored by Dickson's in the 1970's.
Sorry the pics aren't the best---the originals were taken by film before I went digital. So, they are a pic of a pic.
That is a Gambel's quail in the pic, taken in Arizona long before I owned the MacNaughtons.
As with much of my collection, these fine guns have found new homes.

It wasn't easy to part with either. The pain is eased with good pics and fond memories.
The Edinburgh had a wonderful piece of walnut.
